The number of distinguished guests coming over to offer toasts was simply too great.

Su Yehao couldn't handle it, so he made an excuse about being drunk and slipped away.

Anyway, his old man was the one who truly enjoyed socializing. As for him, he just needed to show his face tonight and go through the motions. There was no need to personally entertain everyone from beginning to end.

Just like he'd said before.

Nowadays, more people were asking him for favors than the other way around. As the one who usually got the short end of the stick, he found these kinds of occasions quite annoying.

If he chose to help others, Su Yehao wouldn't get any credit for his efforts.

But if he ignored them after they asked, he'd end up offending them. So it was better to minimize contact and continue to maintain the initiative himself.

He left with Miss Vera, whose head was still buzzing from being surrounded by the wealthy women at their table.

He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he ran into Coal Boss Wu, who was on the phone.

Su Yehao had a deep impression of this middle-aged man. He smiled and nodded as a greeting.

There were too many big shots present tonight, and Coal Boss Wu hadn't found an opportunity to thank Su Yehao in person. He hurriedly hung up the phone and reached out, saying, "President Su, please wait! My name is Cha Wu. I wonder if President Su still remembers me?"

"Hmm... you're one of the few people who've told me they're not interested in money. It's hard to forget. "

Su Yehao was in a hurry to escape and didn't want to linger at the club entrance. He made an excuse, saying, "Sorry, my friend isn't feeling well today. I'm taking her to rest."

"???"

Vera's acting was pretty bad. Hearing this, she clenched her fist and put it to her mouth, coughing lightly to prove that she really wasn't feeling well.

Coal Boss Wu smiled and continued, "I just wanted to express my gratitude to you, President Su. After talking with you last time, I learned that you were optimistic about the prospects of the coal market. So after discussing it with my friends, I acquired a few more coal mines. Who knew that just as you said, President Su, coal prices would skyrocket? Last year, the authorities stopped issuing guidance prices and left the prices to be determined by the market, which allowed me to earn several hundred million more."

"...Well, congratulations."

"I'm really grateful to you, President Su, for helping me find the passion to start a second business. The funds I purchased from 5s Asset Management have also helped me earn over two hundred million, ka-ching, ka-ching. You truly are my benefactor."

After Coal Boss Wu sincerely expressed his gratitude, he added, "I don't know what you're lacking, President Su, but you must give me a chance to express my gratitude. Otherwise, I'll always feel bad about it. For example, a Ferghana horse, antique calligraphy and paintings, or directly donating to some schools in your name?"

"..."

Su Yehao wasn't even sure what he had helped him with.

After thinking carefully, it seemed that he had simply casually remarked that the coal mines were sold too early. He never expected that this Coal Boss Wu would actually listen and turn around to acquire a few more coal mines.

He vaguely remembered that the A-share coal sector had risen sharply for a while.

Finally having the opportunity to take Vera to the hot springs, Su Yehao hurriedly said, "There's no need to give me any gifts. Just donate to the school in your own name. There will be a large demand for energy in the future, and the coal industry will probably be hot for a few more years. But you must pay attention to safety issues. The environmental damage on the mainland is serious, and the government will definitely focus on rectifying it in the future, and it is very likely that small coal mines will be shut down. Anyway, after you make money, do more charitable work. You won't go wrong."

Coal Boss Wu suddenly understood and slapped his forehead, saying, "No wonder you, President Su, are a step ahead and invested in the Three Gorges Dam first. That business is too high-end for me to play with, even if I sell everything I have. The most frightening thing about opening a coal mine is accidents, so I have always prioritized safety."

"Well, I'm leaving now. Let's chat in detail next time if we have the opportunity..."

Many guests were paying attention to Su Yehao, so how could they not have noticed that he was running away?

Someone was just about to chase after him to get acquainted when they happened to see Coal Boss Wu and Su Yehao together.

Those who knew Coal Boss Wu were aware that this guy had encountered Su Yehao's good fortune and made a fortune.

And so.

As soon as Su Yehao got into the car, someone ran to Coal Boss Wu's side to curry favor and ask what he had been talking about with Su Yehao.

Coal Boss Wu was also honest, briefly mentioning that the coal mines still had a few good years left, as well as investing in clean energy.

Especially in the banking industry, many people had heard Su Yehao talking about financing with someone more than an hour ago.

The news spread rapidly and was talked about with great interest.

These members of the Four Seas Club realized that their decision to join was truly wise, as they were able to easily obtain favorable information.

In fact, if they wanted to know Su Yehao's movements, they could just pay attention to the products of 5s Asset Management, but many people believed that funds were a scam, and that firsthand news was more reliable.

If nothing unexpected happened, with the strength of these guests tonight, the coal and banking sectors would usher in a new round of increases in the next trading day.

--------

They took a car to Xiaotangshan Jiuhua Spa & Resort for hot springs.

Su Yehao had climbed Xiangshan Mountain during the day, so he was a little tired. After changing his clothes, he found an outdoor hot spring pool.

Vera, wrapped in a bath towel, found that the environment was not as private as she had imagined. She could see other guests and the landscape, and her restless mood finally relaxed.

While feeling that she had been overthinking things, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After taking off her bathrobe, she wore a new swimsuit she had bought from the hotel and slipped into the pool, only showing her head.

Although it was only a fleeting glance, Su Yehao still clearly saw her good figure. Not only was her skin glowing white, but she also had long legs and a slender waist, making her especially sexy.

He sat on the edge of the pool, put his legs in, and joked, "The water temperature is forty degrees. Aren't you afraid of cooking yourself? What are you afraid of wearing a swimsuit? You're not always so reserved when we go to the beach. I'm not going to eat you."

Miss Vera continued to show her head, her face turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She replied, "It's just cold. The water temperature is just right. It's not hot at all."

"Tsk, your family shouldn't have sent you to an all-girls school since you were little. You're being too strict. You're not like a Portuguese girl at all. You won't have a boyfriend."

As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, Linda Yun, who was also draped in a bathrobe, walked over casually and said, "I'm so happy today. We played all day, had a big meal, and I didn't expect to be able to soak in a hot spring. Should I stay away from you two to avoid being a third wheel?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid the water in the pool will overflow. Please choose another one. The bill will be on you. A self-funded hot spring."

There were third wheels everywhere today. He'd finally found some peace and quiet and had a chance to shine, so Su Yehao didn't want to be disturbed by Linda Yun.

Linda Yun was speechless after hearing this, "I'm not an elephant, how could the water overflow? Forget it, I'll go play by myself. It's already after work hours. Ah-hao, don't disturb my vacation. I've already booked a room. After soaking, you guys can go rest."

"..."

There was nothing wrong with these words in themselves.

It was indeed unnecessary to rush back to the city at nine o'clock in the evening. It was nearly an hour's drive, and it would probably be midnight when they got back.

However, in Miss Vera's ears, it undoubtedly sounded like a deliberate attempt to trick her.

Especially the phrase "you guys can go rest," which made her start to have wild thoughts and become very nervous. She hurriedly asked, "Two rooms, right?"

Linda Yun smiled and replied, "Of course. How could I help a villain do evil and leave him with a chance to pretend to be drunk and take advantage of you..."
